the small church is worth a visit
MATIM Says: Elounda is a small village 12 km from Agios Nicholaos, I tell you about this charming town in my next travel page.First some info about Elounda. You can reach Elounda by bus from the airport Heraklion that takes about an hour drive.I think Elounda is still famous because the...
steventilly Says: This track leads up to the higher part of the island, where there are further defensive ruins and some spectacular views out across the bay, as well as a birds-eye view of some of the ruins of the old leper hospital.

rl1steve Says: The restaurant looks quite basic but the food is far from it. The lady who serves you is very friendly, I think it is her father who does all the cooking. She gets all the fresh produce from the green grocer next door, I think it is all part of the same family. Well woth a...
Del - Mar: A nice place for an after dinner Crepe
rl1steve Says: The Del - Mar is next door to the Poulis, I think the people who own the Poulis own the Del - Mar it is a perfect place for my wife and grandson to enjoy one of the crepes why I have a Metaxa and a double espresso, just perfect. The young lady who always seems to be there...
Poulis: Don't miss the Mussel Saganaki
rl1steve Says: Another restaurant in a lovely location right on the sea front. Poulis is like a lot of restaurants we tried excellent starters but average main courses. The house red was very nice, I thought the meal was a little expensive at €79 I think that's because of the...
Anemomylos: Away from the hussle and bussle
rl1steve Says: A typical taverna serving authentic Greek food. We had a starter of Taramasalata, Tzatziki and Stuffed vine leaves. For our main we had Kleftiko, Rabbit Stifado and Veal Stifado, all very nice. We also had a litre carafe of red wine, coke and water all for €51. It is about 5...
Lotus Eater: A class of it's own
rl1steve Says: The Lotus Eater is right on the sea front along with three or four other restaurants. The Lotus Eater is a family run restaurant with Daniel the son front of house, he has got lots of charisma going from table to table making everybody comfortable and wanting for nothing....
Olondi Restaurant: Best baby squid I have ever tasted
rl1steve Says: The baby squid starter was so tender and fresh even my wife liked it. Very busy and the service was slow but they apologised. The restaurant is right on the sea front and the water so clear you can watch the fish. Teriyaki with mixed fish was quite nice. Brought ice cream...
Elounda Ergospasio restaurant: Eloundas best food
Kostantino Says: The old carob factory has been turned to a stunning restaurant.The character of the old stone building on the water edge makes this place worth of a visit.Tables up the balcony and direct on the sea level patio with beautiful views to the village,the bay and Spinalonga...
rl1steve Says: Be careful when you get your bus ticket from the ticket office, the number on you ticket is not necessarily the number on the bus you want. We were caught out when we were waiting for the bus to Plaka they changed the number on the bus without telling us.
Carhire...the best way to see Crete.
Kostantino Says: The best way to see Crete is to hire a car.Taleos cars based in Elounda (www.taleos.gr) are offering bright new cars,full insurance on very competative rates.Fling to Crete,they deliver the cars to the airport,so go on their site and make a booking.Travel having the freedom...

CARATI JEWELLERY: Gold and silver jewellery
Kostantino Says: Carati jewellery was established in Elounda in 1985.It is a family business specialised in 14 and 18 ct gold jewellery,in traditional greek and international designs. Great collection of 18ct gold jewellery with diamonds and other precious stones.All their own designs.
A Walk To Spinalonga - At The Top
steventilly Says: At the top of the hill is another church - they can't get enough of them here. This one is fairly new by the look of it, and it commands great views across the bay. The stonework and particularly the woodwork on the doors are lovely, and there's a nice courtyard where you...
A Walk To Spinalonga - Windmills
steventilly Says: I can't remember quite how many windmills there are here, 4 maybe 5. They stand by a bridge that straddles a canal which allows small(ish) boats to get to Elounda without having to go the long way around. The windmills are not open (i.e. you can't get inside) but they look...
steventilly Says: I have no idea what this flower is (answers on a postcard). I climed the hill above the small beach at Spinalonga in order to get a good view looking back. Whilst up the hill I saw this, in the distance further up - so naturally I climbed even further. Unfortunately it got a...
